  • Results are in addition to those recently announced for the first 36 holes of the program completed at Dulcie Far North (ASX Release 24-Jun-21), including:

  • 3m @ 70.0 g/t Au (end of hole)

  • 8m @ 2.5 g/t Au

  • 8m @ 1.9 g/t Au, and

  • 12m @ 1.0 g/t Au incl 4m @ 1.9 g/t Au

Infill and extensional AC drilling is now required at Dulcie Far North, Dulcie North, Scott’s Grey & Estrella to be followed by RC drilling on these significant near surface gold results and at the adjoining Dulcie targets: Dulcie Laterite Pit & Water Bore.

Commenting on the new high-grade gold results, Chairman Peter Bird said: “These new gold results continue to demonstrate the prospective nature of the Split Rocks project. The drilling program had two aims both of which were successfully achieved - targeted drilling to assist in understanding the orientation and continuity of the mineralised structures such as at Scott’s Grey and Estrella and secondly extensional drilling to scope out the extents of mineralisation such as at Dulcie North and Dulcie Far North. We have now identified multiple mineralised structures that extend over a cumulative strike of more than 3km. The next phase of follow-up AC and RC drilling will focus on testing the continuity of gold mineralisation within the individual shear zones as we work towards building gold inventory.”

New Drill Results

A total of 100 AC holes were recently completed across 5 target areas as a first test for new zones of gold mineralisation and to extend other zones which had been poorly defined by previous wide-spaced or ineffective historic drilling. The 5 target zones include: Dulcie Far North, Dulcie North, Dulcie West, Scott Grey and Estrella. Drilling has been highly successful in outlining high-grade gold mineralisation at 4 of the 5 target zones (Figures 2 - 5). The assays results are based on initial 4m composite samples and mineralised zones will now be resampled at 1m intervals.

Dulcie Far North - The holes along with previous Zenith AC and historic drilling on lines 100m to 200m apart outline a zone of gold mineralisation 1km long x 300m wide. Results from hole ZDAC339 are particularly significant returning 3m @ 70 g/t Au from 44m depth to the end of the drill hole which terminated in a zone of intense quartz veining close to a basalt – banded iron formation contact (as previously reported 24-Jun-21).

Scott’s Grey - results from extensional drilling at Scott’s Grey provide very strong encouragement for further work. New results include 8m @ 4.1 g/t Au – an up-dip extension to gold zones previously defined by Zenith surrounding the Scott’s Grey workings (Figure 4), 10m @ 0.9 g/t Au (eoh) incl. 4m @ 1.6 g/t Au – a potential new gold zone southwest of Scott’s Grey, and 4m @ 4.8 g/t Au a new zone of gold mineralisation 100m northeast of the historic workings that remains open to the east, north and south.

Dulcie North - results from confirmatory and extensional drilling, in an area where there is some doubt as to the location of historic drill holes, outline strong near surface gold mineralisation that requires follow-up aircore and RC testing, new results include: 16m @ 1.3 g/t Au incl 4m @ 2.9 g/t Au and 4m @ 1.7 g/t Au, and 4m @ 1.6 g/t Au (Figure 5).

Estrella – Three additional drill holes were completed to assess the orientation of gold mineralisation intersected by Zenith in an earlier AC drilling program that returned 2m @ 9.8 g/t Au and 1m @ 7.1g/t Au . The new hole ZAC356 drilled between these two intersections confirms a shallow dip to mineralisation with 4m @ 0.9 g/t Au indicating a potential northerly plunge that will be assessed with a further follow-up program.

Dulcie West – no significant results were returned from the recent broad spaced aircore drill program.

Note Zenith retains gold rights at Dulcie Far North, Dulcie North, Dulcie Laterite Pit Zone and Scott’s Grey below 6m, subject to the Dulcie option agreement (refer to ASX Release 21-Mar-19).

- Split Rocks Project Background on Gold Potential

A major targeting exercise by the Company’s geological team initially identified 12 high-quality gold drill targets at Split Rocks, subsequently expanded to 18 targets in the north-eastern sector of the Company’s 100% owned tenure (Refer to ZNC ASX Release 2 September 2020).

Drilling to date has tested 12 targets (results awaited for Dulcie West) with outstanding first pass results returned at (ASX Release 5-Aug-20, 2-Sep-20, 19-Oct-20, 28-Oct-20, 15-Ja-21, 11-Mar-21, 21-Apr-21, 24-Jun-21):

  • Dulcie North: 32m @ 9.4 g/t Au, incl 9m @ 31.4 g/t Au

  • Dulcie Laterite Pit:

  • 2m @ 14.5 g/t Au, incl. 1m @ 20.8 g/t Au,

  • 18m @ 2.0 g/t Au (EOH) incl. 1m @ 23.7 g/t Au

  • 14m @ 3.5 g/t Au

  • ▪ 3m @ 17.9 g/t Au

  • Estrela Prospect: 2m @ 9.8 g/t Au

  • Dulcie Far North: 5m @ 5.6 g/t Au incl. 4m @ 6.8 g/t Au, 3m @ 70 g/t Au

  • Water Bore: 3m @ 6.6 g/t Au

A further 7 of the 18 targets generated by Zenith extending over 18km of strike are yet to have first pass drill testing.

Infill and extensional aircore drilling is now required at Dulcie Far North, Dulcie North and Scott’s Grey to be followed by RC drilling on the significant near surface gold results at the 4 Dulcie targets, Dulcie Laterite Pit, Dulcie North, Dulcie Far North & Water Bore. are planned.

Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut
channels, random chips, or specific specialised
industry
standard
measurement
tools
appropriate to the minerals under investigation,
such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld
XRF instruments, etc.). These examples should
not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of
sampling.
4m composite aircore drill samples were collected at
depths ranging from 0 to 56m depth.
Samples were collected via a cyclone.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure
sample representivity and the appropriate
calibration of any measurement tools or systems
used.
Samples are representative of the intervals sampled.
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation
that are Material to the Public Report. In cases
where ‘industry standard’ work has been done
this would be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse
circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m
samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to
produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other
cases more explanation may be required, such
as where there is coarse gold that has inherent
sampling problems. Unusual commodities or
mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules)
may warrant disclosure of detailed information.
Aircore drilling was used to obtain 4 m composite from
which 2 kg was pulverised with analysis for gold by 50g
fire assay with AAS finish
Drilling
techniques
Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-
hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka,
sonic, etc.) and details (e.g. core diameter, triple
or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-
sampling bit or other type, whether core is
oriented and if so, by what method, etc.).
Aircore
Drill sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing core and
chip sample recoveries and results assessed.
Samples were visually assessed in the field and using
an
estimated
bulk
density
compared
against
theoretical mass to estimate recovery.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery

These relationships are particularly important
in the reporting of Exploration Results.
Drilling is angled -60 degrees east or vertical and based
on current interpretation is thought to be representing
true width thickness of the flat lying supergene or gentle
west dipping gold mineralised zones however further
drilling is required to confirm this interpretation.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with
respect to the drill hole angle is known, its
nature should be reported.
As above
If it is not known and only the down hole lengths
are reported, there should be a clear statement
to this effect (e.g. ‘down hole length, true width
not known’).
Mineralised intervals reported are down-hole lengths but
are believed to be close to true thickness
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with scales)
and tabulations of intercepts should be
included for any significant discovery being
reported These should include, but not be
limited to a plan view of drill hole collar
locations and appropriate sectional views.
